Two of Three

So as some of you know the name of my blog is a nerdy Star Trek reference to the Borg (an alien race that assimilates technology from anyone they encounter).  Anyway, I have not written about my Star Trek obsession lately so I thought I would take some time to do that.  I was reading all the “16 Random Things” and “25 Random Things” that everyone has been writing on Facebook and the blog world and was thinking maybe it would be fun to do 25 Random Thing post with a theme.  And what’s my favorite theme….STAR TREK!  So without further ado here is….

22. Trills have this weird slug thing that lives in side of them and keeps all their memories when the host body dies…I find this gross.
23. They always talk about following “The Prime Directive” on Star Trek but a lot of the episodes are about how they did not follow it.
24. Star Trek characters are very musical;  Will Riker plays the trombone, Cpt. Picard plays a flute he got on from an alien, Harry Kim plays the clarinet,  Data plays the violin and  Seven of Nine sings.
25. When I get a text message on my phone it plays the Star Trek TNG theme song.

So there is my Star Trek post for the month.  Sorry to those of you who don’t understand this strange love I have with Star Trek.  Maybe next month I will do “25 Random Things About LOTR!”
